Chocolate cupcakes

This recipe is quick and easy. (It makes more than 12 for me - about 20 small ones - depends on the size of the cupcake case). Easy to ice with glace icing - just icing sugar (1 cup), cocoa (about two desertspoons) and little water. Then it will make a smooth surface for sprinkles. They are very chocolatey and light (don't overmix).

120g (150ml) sugar
2 eggs
40ml cocoa
75ml water
75ml oil
salt
120g (250 ml) cake flour
10ml baking powder

1. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases and heat oven to 180 degrees C
2. Beat sugar and eggs til creamy and thick
3. Dissolve cocoa in hot water, then add the oil, mix
4. Sift dry ingredients together in separate bowl
5. Stir cocoa mixture into egg mixture
6. fold in dry ingredients - don't overmix
7. Spoon cupcake mix into muffin tin lined with cases
8. Bake about 17 mins
9. Cool for 5 mins in tin before removing
10. Put on blobs of glace icing and sprinkles
